[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 555225, member: 1550"] Well, Malika, I agree with you then that it is not sensible to give him medication at school. Seems he needs some sort of help with his social skills more than anything. If it makes you feel any better, Sonic was so hyper at J's age that we used to say he "climbed the walls" and "hung from the rafters." If shopping, he would blaze ahead of me and I'd be chasing him while he wailed in pain. I'm sure if cell phone had been popular back then, many people would have called the cops, thinking I was kidnapping him (I am white and Sonic is black, which probably made many people suspicious). Like J, he did not behave like that at school, although he DID like to run around at recess and a lot of the kids would follow him and get worked up with him. But now, as an adult, he is not hyper at all. Not in the least. He is laid back and the only residual affects of his hyper behavior are that sometimes he taps his foot while sitting still or pulls at his clothes. His attention span is good too. When he was at his most hyper, stimulants only made him worse. If Sonic can outgrow the hyper, so can J. Not saying he will, but he could. [/QUOTE]
